+6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005
+ * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its
+ supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after.
+ - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older
+ Test::Harness.
+
+6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005
+ * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several
+ CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have
+ INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built
+ modules.
+ - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable.
+ - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored.
+
+6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005
+ - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core
+ - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths
+ be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core)
+ - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside
+ it and any which happen to be in subdirs.
+ - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker.
+ (bleadperl@24185)
+ - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning)
+
+6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005
+ * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative
+ directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+
+6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005
+ * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being
+ passed the file they were to generate.
+ * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is
+ now documented.
+ * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented.
+
+6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005
+
+6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005
+ - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest
+ version is found.
+ - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10.
+
+6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005
+ - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any.
+ - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part
+ of RT 6460 in 6.25_02.
+
+6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005
+ - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I
+ couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility.
+ This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various
+ previous alpha releases.
+
+6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005
+ - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent
+ and better.
+ - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are
+ now possible.
+
+6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005
+ - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it.
+ - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN
+ made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left
+ XSUBPP alone.
+ - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can
+ make commands too long on VMS.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using
+ .exists files everywhere.
+ - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS.
+ - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all.
+ - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892)
+ - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with
+ Module::Install
+
+6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004
+ - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice.
+ - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring
+ it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy.
+ - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to
+ a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas.
+
+6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004
+ - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro.
+ - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as
+ targets as their mod time changes too frequently.
+ * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented
+ it yet. I'll do that next release.
+
+6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004
+ - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command".
+ Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro.
+ - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed.
+ - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for
+ Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP.
+
+6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004
+ - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules.
+
+6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004
+ - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own
+ target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This
+ ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes
+ things like SVN's perl bindings.
+
+6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004
+ - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier
+ macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations
+ like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32.
+ [rt.cpan.org 4545]
+ - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting
+ directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851]
+ - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before
+ we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460]
+ - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and
+ several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18.
+
+6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004
+ * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will
+ only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers,
+ they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time.
+ * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build
+ directory. It will only be generated in the distdir.
+ - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed.
+ - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files.
+ This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to
+ Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix.
+
+6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004
+ - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now
+ ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809]
+ - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP
+
+6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004
+ - Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian]
+ - Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183]
+ - At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe.
+ - BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717]
+ - Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case
+ anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was).
+
+6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004
+ - dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems
+ installing some Tk modules.
+
+6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004
+ - MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough
+ people noticed this to warrant a quick release.
+
+6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004
+ - Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay]
+ * Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files.
+ - Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments
+
+6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004
+ - pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts
+ everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the
+ filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code.
+ - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic.
+ - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential
+ errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway.
+ - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run.
+ * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building
+ large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson]
+ * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}.
+ [Greg Matheson]
+ - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?"
+ and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie]
+ - Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume
+ [Ilya Zakharevich]
+ - When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed
+ xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig]
+ - makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries
+ not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032]
+ * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use
+ Module::Build instead.
+ * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on
+ VMS. [rt 4675]
+ - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any
+ existing uses.
+ - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN).
+ This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616]
+ - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories
+ wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208]
+ - fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955]
+ - ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS
+ [rt 4687]
+ - hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O
+ contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test
+ mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365]
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on
+ VMS. [rt 4676]
+ - parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs.
+ [rt 5633]
+
+6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003
+ - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of
+ PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed
+ (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
+ - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version
+ for backwards compatibility.
+ - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of
+ modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.
+
+6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003
+ - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we
+ take a more conservative approach.
+ - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows.
+ - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290]
+ - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase]
+ - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing
+ nmake [rt 4285 4301]
+
+6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003
+ - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and
+ teardown the dummy modules as needed.
+ - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set
+ - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR)
+ instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL
+ INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected.
+
+6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003
+ - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich)
+ - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase)
+ * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now
+ fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for
+ $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older
+ Perls.
+ * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds.
+ * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead.
+ - Removed now unused dir_target() method.
+ - Added a little documentation to instmodsh.
+ * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use
+ it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of
+ PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS.
+ * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake
+ made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2
+ - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix()
+ * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used.
+ * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and
+ open.pm (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded.
+ * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing.
+ * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a
+ warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml
+ - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims)
+ * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed
+ (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea)
+ * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last
+ November and nobody noticed.
+ - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set
+ by the user.
+ - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories
+ * Documented UNINST=1
+
+6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003
+ - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves)
+ * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so
+ it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found.
+ * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB
+ (Orton Yves)
+ - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others)
+ where a read-only file cannot be deleted.
+ - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates
+ ndbgperl.exe.
+ - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument.
+
+6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003
+ * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old
+ versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS).
+ - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed.
+ [Sreeji K Das]
+ * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP
+ - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel
+ bleadperl@20530)
+ - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to
+ causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180)
+
+6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003
+ - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already
+ installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon)
+
+6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003
+ - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml
+ itself and the metafile documentation.
+ - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the
+ way of users adding code to the manifypods target.
+ - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using
+ it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man
+ installation targets in a backwards compatible way.
+ * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs.
+
+6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003
+ - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester)
+ - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This
+ was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345.
+ - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up.
+
+6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003
+ - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and
+ prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than
+ "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283)
+ - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean"
+ (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this
+ was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't
+ blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied
+ to INST_*.
+ - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking
+ for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a
+ really bizarre way.
+
+6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003
+ - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke
+ - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run
+ twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again.
+ * Noting where to find make in the README
+ * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile
+ on Windows.
+
+6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003
+ * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default
+ always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949]
+ * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which
+ tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL
+ (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's).
+ This appears to be a rather old bug.
+ [rt.cpan.org #2951]
+ * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get
+ stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process
+ of prepending a .. onto it.
+ - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing
+ expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it.
+ * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute.
+ - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep
+ repeating the list all over the code.
+ - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing
+ with DESTDIR set.
+ * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892
+ and part of rt.cpan.org #2954]
+ * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables.
+ installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents
+ the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod.
+ DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954]
+ - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing
+ some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored.
+ - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing
+ internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify
+ when it didn't.
+
+6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003
+ * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB
+ instead of one for each perl, site and vendor.
+ - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back
+ to using multiple -e's.
+ * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS
+ in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped.
+ - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading
+ files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry.
+ - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya)
+ - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous
+ newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to
+ $(ECHO).
+ - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n'
+
+6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003
+ - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in
+ ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug.
+ - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows.
+ - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during
+ the basic.t test on Windows.
+
+6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003
+ * Documenting META.yml, NO_META
+ * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and
+ alter your manifest.
+ * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ
+ - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better.
+ - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry)
+ * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere
+ around 6.06_01.
+ - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install()
+ - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install
+ loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows.
+ - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only
+ (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723)
+ - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the
+ dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747)
+
6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003
- Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl]
